DAILY SCHEDULE
There is not one set schedule for all of our classrooms. We understand that young children tend to set their own schedules, and a schedule that is too rigid sacrifices many learning opportunities for the class. We have a basic schedule that is followed to accommodate the meal/snack and outside activity times.
NOTE : These times are adjusted to accommodate diaper changes, weather, and other situations such as learning moments in the classroom.
​
Our basic activity schedule is as follows :
6:00 am - 8:00 am
8:00 am - 8:45 am
8:45 am - 9:00 am
9:00 am - 9:15 am
9:15 am - 9:45 am

NAPS
We request that all children 5 years old and younger rest after lunch each day for at least 45 minutes. Children usually need such rest periods to function at their best. For those children who do not actually sleep, they are encouraged to engage in quiet activity such as reading books, or something similar, to avoid disturbing those who are sleeping.
OUTSIDE PLAY
Weather permitting, we schedule at least two times each day for outside play and activities. Each scheduled time is approximately 45 minutes. Fresh air is always a benefit to children throughout the year.
